STYGIAN CROWN - Sophomore Album "Funeral For A King" via Cruz Del Sur Music - Lyric Video Premiere

Los Angeles based epic doom metallers STYGIAN CROWN return with their long-awaited sophomore album!

"Funeral For A King" is set for release on February 23rd 2024 via Cruz Del Sur Music.

The follow-up to their well-received 2020 self-titled debut stays true to the band’s sprawling doom template that also incorporates elements of classic metal and death metal. Tracked at five different studios from Los Angeles to Melbourne, Australia, with mixing duties falling onto Mark Kelson and mastering courtesy of Charles Elliott, the album occasionally drifts into traditional metal territory but largely keeps its boots on the ground in doom.

A lyric video for the track "Bushido" is available at this location: https://youtu.be/vYyhY2S71HM

Epic, massive doom with nods to Candlemass, Bolt Thrower, My Dying Bride and Iron Maiden!

SPECTRAL VOICE - Sophomore Album "Sparagmos" via Dark Descent Records - Details and Trackstream revealed

Dark Descent Records proudly announces the sophomore album of SPECTRAL VOICE, entitled "Sparagmos", to be released on February 9th 2024.

It was recorded, mixed and mastered by Arthur Rizk at Redwood Studio. The artwork was created by Manifester.

"Sparagmos" unfolds as a momentous second full-length offering, marking the culmination of a period devoted to katabatic immersion into the material. The title itself, alluding to the Dionysian rite of being torn limb from limb, sets the stage for a profound exploration of life, death, and the untamed essence within.

"The content of the album oscillates between lamentation and exaltation. An immersive, morbid atmosphere of funereality longs for the liberation of death and mourns the agony of life. Coupled with moments of frenetic madness, grandeur, terror and ecstasy, the point we are trying to get to is the moment in which - through sacrifice - atavistic wildness is unleashed, and the ultimate exaltation of life through death is realized.", reflects drummer/vocalist E. Wendler.

Influences drawn from the esoteric realms of death, black, doom metal, dark ambient, and arcane literature converge to shape SPECTRAL VOICE's most realized manifestation. Featuring the sonic prowess of M. Kolontyrsky (guitar), P. Riedl (guitar), and J. Barrett (bass) - also of Blood Incantation fame - alongside the drummer/vocalist E. Wendler, SPECTRAL VOICE weave a sonic tapestry with a level of excellence that surpasses even their own formidable standards.

"Sparagmos" unquestionably stands as a definitive death metal highlight of 2024!

MEGA COLOSSUS - New Album 'Showdown' via Cruz Del Sur Music - New Lyric Video revealed


High-octane melodic metallers MEGA COLOSSUS, hailing from Raleigh / North Carolina, have released a second track from their upcoming new album "Showdown".

A lyric video for "Outrun Infinity" can be checked out here: https://youtu.be/hIriy_x8epM

On their fourth full-length, MEGA COLOSSUS matches epic metal grandeur with the hooks and melodies from Rainbow and Kansas! Recorded with Al Jacob at Warrior Sound in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, in early 2023, "Showdown" catches MEGA COLOSSUS in full stride, expanding upon its template of dueling twin-guitar harmonies and gallops. It takes their brand of triumphant, big melodic metal to new heights without forgetting where the band came from. It’s like the perfect sequel to 2021’s "Riptime"- but better!

But above all else, "Showdown" is the amalgamation of five very different musicians with something unique to offer to MEGA COLOSSUS. It is no wonder, that the album has emerged as an epic display of uncanny and striking melodic metal, with all the depth and charisma of a band now entering its 20th year.

"Showdown" will be released on January 26th 2024 via Cruz Del Sur Music on CD, LP and digitally.

Tracklist:
1. Fortune and Glory
2. Outrun Infinity
3. Grab the Sun
4. Showdown
5. Warden of the Wicked Road
6. Take to the Skies

With "Free Spirit Soar", a brand-new studio album by WARLORD with all songs having been recorded between March and September 2023, singer Giles Lavery and drummer Mark Zonder honor their bandmate Bill Tsamis who passed away in 2021. They are joined by Jimmy Waldo on keyboards/synthesizer, Philip Bynoe on bass and Eric Juris on guitars.

"We wanted to finish these pieces of music that were started ‘for Bill’," explains Lavery, "and the material we felt was certainly strong enough to inspire us to do so." Regarding the guitar parts he specifies: "Bill is there where we could pull his tracks off the demo recordings, in much the same way the Beatles were recently able to rescue John Lennon’s voice from an old demo tape. however be assured this album is not 'a demo', nor does it sound like one, our new guitarist Eric does most of the heavy lifting as far the recording, but all of the music was written by Bill and we stayed very very faithful to what he wrote."

Watch out for further news such as the album cover, pre-order info as well as a first single very soon!

Tracklist:
01. Behold A Pale Horse
02. The Rider

DISSIMULATOR - Technical Thrash/Death Debut Album "Lower Form Resistance" via 20 Buck Spin - Details and Trackstream

20 Buck Spin proudly announces the debut full-length of Montreal based Technical Thrash/Death Metal trio DISSIMULATOR!

"Lower Form Resistance" is set for release on January 26th 2024.

DISSIMULATOR will be a new name to most in 2024, but with the release of razor-sharp debut album "Lower Form Resistance" the band unleash an overwhelming future shock on the auditory and sensory nerves, permanently imprinting on the cerebral cortex with their pulsating unconventional attack. Comprised of members from Chthe’ilist, Atramentus, Beyond Creation and more, the band executes its jagged sci-fi Death-Thrash with vicious intricacy.

Over the forty-two-minute course of the album, the jarring angular riffs, complex structures and atmosphere of exuberant incongruity meshes acutely with a straightforward momentum and perpetual accessibility at the crossroads where the thrash and death metal scenes began to coalesce, and directional potentiality felt limitless. Add to this a Voivod-ian prescience of robotic sentience and technological doom and DISSIMULATOR’s vision makes for total immersion in their world-building enterprise.

The off-kilter and adventurous spirit of "Lower Form Resistance" that manages to sound fresh today while conjuring a certain spirit of ’88-’93 makes this debut a mesmerizingly bizarre and gratifying dose of aggressive alacrity. Fans of bands like Obliveon, Sadus, Voivod, Atheist, Hexx, Decapitated and Meshuggah should pay attention!

A first track entitled "Hyperline Underflow" is streaming now at this location: https://youtu.be/YsgPGHrvQZ0

Vocalist/guitarist Claude Leduc states about the single: "'Hyperline Underflow' is one of the more 'upbeat' songs on 'Lower Form Resistance', both musically and lyrically. Within the context of the album’s bleak vision of a future in which the remains of the human species and of its essence are almost totally determined by technical processes, the song entertains the possibility of new forms of life emerging seemingly ex nihilo from the neglected outer layers of a god-machine that has assimilated most of the natural world. As the penultimate song on the album, Hyperline sets the stage for the call to resistance that unites all organic life against the cybernetic totality."

Tracklist:
1. Neural Hack
2. Warped
3. Outer Phase
4. Automoil & Robotoil
5. Cybermorphism / Mainframe
6. Hyperline Underflow
7. Lower Form Resistance

Line-Up:
Claude Leduc : Guitars & Vocals
Antoine Daigneault : Bass
Philippe Boucher : Drums

DIAMONDS HADDER - Deal with No Remorse Records - Physical Release of "Beyond the Breakers" in 2024

"Something wicked this way comes..."

Los Angeles, USA, based DIAMONDS HADDER, fronted by singer and creator John Evermore, has signed a deal with No Remorse Records for the physical release of their debut album called "Beyond the Breakers". It will be available in deluxe double LP and CD formats in spring 2024.

The record was recorded in an old abandoned paint factory on the east side of LA. Created in the aftermath of a wildfire and a premonition, "Beyond the Breakers" has a classic heavy metal sound reminiscent of early bands like Rainbow, Dio, Savatage and Queensrÿche. It started as a dream of a man named Mr. Evermore and documents the trials and tribulations of a life lost, followed by grief, hope and the ultimate survival of the human spirit as well as a possession of sorts and the arrival of a man named Johnathan Hadder. It’s a classic metal tale of how tragic events may bring redemption and salvation through music and how a premonition became reality and a dream prophetic.

"Beyond the Breakers" was released digitally in July 2023 and you can listen to it on all the standard digital platforms including Spotify and Apple Music. Currently DIAMONDS HADDER is in LA working on music videos for the tracks "Long is the Road" and "The Ballad of the Dead Rabbit". They should both be released sometime early 2024 along with the physical releases.

KAWIR - Deal with Soulseller Records - New Album 'Kydoimos' coming in 2024

Soulseller Records proudly announces a worldwide deal with Greek cult act KAWIR!

KAWIR formed in the Greek black metal scene of the 90s and have been exploring Greek mythology, literature, and mysteries for 30 years - and no other band really captures the essence of those stories and times the same way.

Celebrating 3 decades of creating music, KAWIR's new album "Κυδοιμοσ" (latinized "Kydoimos", a deity representing the clang and chaos of war) is slated for a spring 2024 release via their new label home.

Here's a first insight:

The name of the album derives from one of the Makhai (Μάχαι,) Ancient Greek daemons (personifications/spirits) of war. Kydoimos in particular refers to the personification of the cacophony and bedlam of battle. Typically he is referred to as a son of Eris (Ερις, no to be confused with Ares (Αρης)), the goddess of strife, and he appears in many key ancient texts. Most importantly the Iliad, where he is said adorn Achillies' shield alongside his mother and a Ker (Κίρ.) He is also mentioned as adorning the shield of Heracles in Hesiod's work.

The album itself takes much from both the Iliad and Kydoimos. It is a belligerent and aggressive exploration of ancient war, of they who won glory on Troy land and the many who found their end there. Fittingly for its subject matter, "Kydoimos" is an album that sees KAWIR achieve new heights in both unrelenting heaviness and epic atmosphere. You have tracks like the brutal "Tiresias (Τειρεσιας)" standing side by side with a three track epic exploring the legacy of Achilles the runs the whole gambit. In other hands this could've felt schizophrenic, with KAWIR it feels like an ambitious point they've been working towards for a couple of records now.

Keep your eyes and ears open for more details in the near future!

INCULTER - New Track Premiere "Morbid Origin"

Norwegian Black-Thrashers INCULTER have revealed the title track from their upcoming new album "Morbid Origin", set for release on December 8th 2023 via Edged Circle Productions.

Check it out here: https://youtu.be/sNKenbBH_YU

The song sees the thrashing quartet diving further deeper into their now already trademark sound which they quite remarkably displayed on the previous full length effort “Fatal Visions” a few years back. It also very clearly shows how versatile and creative this band is in 2023. The future is bright red!

Having being still busy on the live front during the absent few years since the last album, the band has still also been secretly moulding and stirring the pots of intense creativity for quite some time. This time, like earlier recordings, the band has been at the helm of full production and mix themselves, but have also received a lending hand from Gord Olson (Darkened, AngelBlast) on the mastering process. The end result is as stunning as it is incredibly forward thinking. More riffs, more epic melodies and more everything basically! A future classic has been masterfully created by INCULTER, and being the fans of the genre themselves as much as they are at the top of their game with their own stunning new album “Morbid Origin”….this album will not go unnoticed!

Pre-order options: https://edgedcircleproductions.com/ecp-shop / https://edgedcircleproductions.bandcamp.com/album/morbid-origin

Tracklist:
1. Intro
2. Death Reigns
3. Age of Reprisal
4. Chained to the Void
5. Children of Demise
6. Extinction
7. Morbid Origin
8. Perennial Slaves
9. Lethal Salvation

Line-up:
Lasse Udjus - Guitars
